CricBattle Daily Fantasy Cricket League Tips Bangalore vs Gujarat on April 2 CricBattle Daily Fantasy Cricket League Tips Bangalore vs Gujarat on April 2 The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will be locking horns with the Gujarat Titans (GT) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday, April 2. The two sides have faced each other at this ground twice so far, with both winning one game each. RCB has won its last two matches and has been successful in chasing and defending, respectively. For RCB, this will be their first game at home, and they will be excited to play in front of their fans, who are expected to turn up in huge numbers. The Rajat Patidar-led team has looked clinical this season so far, making sure they cover all the boxes. With most of the players turning up in crucial times, RCB has earned the rewards for it.Meanwhile, the Gujarat-based franchise had a promising yet disappointing start to the season. Playing Punjab Kings at home, the side was hammered for 243 runs in their allotted overs that night, courtesy of Shreyas Iyer, Priyansh Arya, and Shashank Singh. Notably, GT gave a tough fight till the end, but were restricted to 232, eventually losing the game by 11 runs. However, in their last game against the Mumbai Indians, they made sure to finish on the winning side and did so, thanks to their brilliance in both the batting and bowling departments. Best economical pick – Mohammed Siraj will have his emotions flowing as he returns to the Chinnaswamy Stadium, but for the Gujarat Titans and not in RCB colours. Siraj, who represented the Bengaluru franchise for seven years, is the third-highest wicket-taker for them with 83 scalps in 87 matches. However, the 31-year-old will be aware of the conditions and give a tough time to the opposition batters. In the game against the Mumbai Indians, Siraj wreaked havoc by picking up two wickets in the powerplay. Top captains & vice captains – Virat Kohli could be the best batter in the upcoming game against the Gujarat Titans. Kohli, who has been giving good starts to his team, will be confident going ahead. With Bengaluru wicket suiting the batters, Kohli is expected to get runs. In two matches, the batting maestro has scored 90 runs, including an unbeaten 59 against Kolkata Knight Riders in the season opener. ShubmanGill has been consistent with the bat, scoring decent runs at the top order. While he hasn’t had explosive innings every game, his steady approach makes him a reliable run-scorer.This season, Gill has been adapting well to varying match situations, sometimes shifting gears between attack and defense based on the game’s need. This flexibility makes him a strong candidate for a vice-captain pick, as he can adapt and still score well. Smart pick – Given his strong recent performances, Sai Sudarshan could be a solid pick for tomorrow’s match. Players coming off good form are more likely to continue performing well, and Sudharsan could be poised to play a match-winning knock in the middle overs.Sudharsan is still not as widely picked as the big names (like Kohli, Salt or Gill), so if you’re looking for a differential pick to stand out, Sudharsan could provide excellent value. If he replicates his recent form, he might outscore higher-owned players. Cautious Pick – ​RahulTewatia has had some explosive moments, especially in the death overs, where he has the ability to hit big sixes and turn games around. However, his consistency with the bat has been an issue. While he can provide a quick cameo, he hasn't always been able to anchor or build significant innings.Avoiding Tewatia in your fantasy team might be a good idea if you're looking for more consistent players with a higher chance of contributing regularly. My XI – Virat Kohli(Captain),ShubmanGill(Vice-Captain),Sai Sudarshan,Mohammed Siraj, Phil Salt, Josh Hazelwood, Bhuvneswar Kumar, Rajat Patidar, Jos Buttler, Krunal Pandya, Rashid Khan

CricBattle Daily Fantasy Cricket League Tips Lucknow vs Punjab on April 1 CricBattle Daily Fantasy Cricket League Tips Lucknow vs Punjab on April 1 The Lucknow Super Giants are all set to host the Punjab Kings in the 13th game of the Indian Premier League 2025, slated to take place on April 1 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. It is a clash between the most expensive and the second-most expensive players in IPL history. For the first time, LSG's new skipper, Rishabh Pant, will be facing his former DC coach, Ricky Ponting, who is a part of PBKS this time. The Indian batting star will be eager to silence his critics and let his bat do the talking in this game. On the other hand, Iyer led PBKS with a match-winning unbeaten 97 in the opening clash. The 2024 IPL-winning skipper is relishing playing at number three and aims to continue in the same vein. Rishabh Pant and his men will be playing their first game at home and hoping to carry their winning run from their five-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last encounter. Top-order batters Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran racked up 52 and 70 runs, respectively, that led their batting attack with the side reaching the target of 191 with four overs to spare. On the flip side, Punjab Kings were magnificent in their opening clash against Gujarat Titans. Skipper Shreyas Iyer's knock of unbeaten 97 and the fiery knock of star batter Shashank Singh allowed them to post 243 runs in the first innings. The IPL 2022 champions fell short by 11 runs. The Punjab Kings are off to a blistering start in the cash-rich league this season. However, their bowling attack doesn't look entirely convincing as of now. On the other side, LSG seem to boast firepower with the bat, but their bowling attack is also under scrutiny. Best economical pick – Arshdeep Singh could be the best bowler of the match. The left-arm pacer has been in good form in different formats. In T20s, he has been taking wickets for fun with the new ball. With the old ball, he has been highly economical. In a high-scoring game against GT, he bowled a great spell and was one of the key reasons behind Punjab Kings' win. On a surface like Lucknow, he might be key for PBKS. Top captains & vice captains – The West Indies power hitter and LSG dashing batter Nicholas Pooran has been making bold headlines with his blistering performance. The left-handed batter has racked up an incredible 145 runs in the last two matches. One can look to have him as a captaincy pick considering his red-hot form. Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer made unbeaten 97 runs in the opening clash vs GT. The stylish right-handed batter is relishing playing at number three and aims to continue in the same vein. One must have him as a captaincy pick considering his red-hot form. Smart pick – The Aussie star batter Mitchell Marsh has racked up an incredible 124 runs in the last two matches. One can look to have him as a top pick considering his red-hot form. Cautious Pick – ​Abdul Samadis often slotted lower in the batting order for LSG. If the top order performs well, he may not get many opportunities to bat, limiting his potential fantasy points. My XI – Nicholas Pooran(Captain), Shreyas Iyer(Vice-Captain), Mitchell Marsh, Arshdeep Singh, Rishabh Pant, David Miller, Shasank Singh, Shardul Thakur, Aiden Markram, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis
